The young Parisian house Bleu\nComme Gris is repositioning itself halfway between haute couture and\ntraditional children’s fashion brands. Its new Parisian boutique,\nlocated just a few steps from the Opera, in the prestigious rue Scribe, inaugurates\na workshop dedicated to made-to-measure clothing.<\/h3>\n\n

Bleu Comme Gris intends to give itself a more haute couture look. It’s true that between the luxury brands, such as Dior or Chanel, and the traditional children’s fashion brands, such as Jacadi or Bonpoint, the market was relatively virgin until now. This is why the young Parisian brand, created in 2008 and initially focused on school uniforms, wants to reposition its offer in order to reach a demanding clientele that is not necessarily ready to turn to haute couture houses. It is precisely for this purpose that Bleu Comme Gris, already present in Paris, London and Lyon, recently inaugurated its third boutique in the heart of the capital, located a stone’s throw from the Opera, in the prestigious rue Scribe. And that it has installed a workshop dedicated to custom-made clothing. “This workshop, combined with the quality of our fabrics and their French origin, should allow us to distinguish ourselves from other children’s fashion brands,” explains Vanessa Marrapodi, the designer and artistic director of the house.<\/p>\n\n

The store, with elegance\ntypically Parisian – blue and grey wood furniture, white moldings,\nantique armchairs and tassel chandeliers – is a true haven of peace and\ntranquility, chic and welcoming, designed to best accommodate a clientele\ntoday mostly foreign – Middle East and North America\nin particular. Here, lace dresses rub shoulders with quilted pyjamas, the\nsmall blouses and knits for babies. All in one color unit,\ncheerful and shimmering. Behind the large windows, the workshop is organized\nof sewing. Spools of thread occupy the wall. This is where the magicians,\nas Vanessa Marrapodi calls them, make the clothes:\npatterns, fabrics and prototypes for future collections, but also\nnumerous custom orders. “Our ready-to-wear collections\nstop in 12 years. We therefore receive many orders in large\nsizes,” notes the designer, adding that “unique creations\nfor various events or ceremonies is also a request\nstrong. “Present throughout the making and answering questions\nof the seamstresses, Vanessa Marrapodi inspects, refines and sometimes modifies\na few details in order to achieve perfection. <\/p>\n\n

If the production is overall,\nfor the moment, carried out in Portugal, the creation is ensured here, rue Scribe.\nIt is on the second floor of the store that the designer imagines her models,\ndesigns its collections and chooses its fabrics, the starting point of the creation.\nMore than ever, his collections tend to titillate the world of luxury. What is\nThe quality of the details and the choice of the buttons are very important. The\nlinings, thus, are no longer made of cotton but satin. The pleating,\nis entrusted to Chanel. As for the embroidery, handmade, it comes from\nprivileged workshops of Dior and Chanel. In addition to these new\nrequirements, Bleu Comme Gris is working to offer complete outfits. This\nfall, the brand unveils a line of shoes to match the dresses.<\/p>\n\n

Concerned about the quality of the fabrics,\nVanessa Marrapodi is as much of the choices of colors and their\nunit. “It is through fabric and color that a collection is created.\nThe rest just follows,” she says. In his office, the samples\nare not lacking. They are pinned to the wall, on an imposing cork panel. Usually\n15 days, the drawings filled the pages of the book of the next season. Usually\nIn this case, there is a profusion of gold and lace, silk and\nof pleats, embroideries and jacquards that will make you feel\nare only waiting for one thing: to make the little girls and their\nparents. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
